Rumor and Proposals Thread Vol. 5: Where we all put on our GM caps

So what do people realistically think it would take because if he truly is on the block this is actually the first player other then O Reilly that actually seems to be very good fit for our teams needs. Would Nick Shultz and a 1st get it done that seems pretty steep for a inconsistant #2 center. Yes i know hes a kid but thats a good payment for potential.

Nick Schultz maybe has the value of a 3rd rounder right now. He doesn't bring much to the table and I doubt the Flyers are looking for a draft pick right now. They aren't a rebuilding team. Nick Schultz is a throw in, not something that you focus a trade around.

Would you accept a UFA #5 d-man and a 1st round draft pick for one of the Yak/Eberle/RNH/Hall? Because that is likely the level that the Flyers value him.

I agree. And I don't want the Oilers to give up their 1st for Couturier. Maybe Petry would interest them? I would do Petry + for Couturier, especially if they could do something like Hemsky for Mike Green.

You have to keep Schultz you need some veterans on the back end they just acquired him a year ago and obviously think highly of him giving him an "A"

Petry (who I still like) would be a more ideal move if that's what it takes to get it done, I think there still needs to be another piece.

If Petry is expendable does that mean some of the troops in OKC could be ready? Fedun or Marincin how have they faired?

A top 10 pick this year could potentially get you a better Center then Couts and i disagree on your value of nick shultz if we are out by the trade deadline i bet you see a late first for a shultz rental. Teams pay big for decent D at the deadline and the injury disease caused by the shortened season adds to that but i agree with your view that he wouldnt get couts idk then. petry and a first is to high petry + what?

Flyers get rid of some cap and bring in a guy they will be targeting. Ducks are gonna lose Perry so they will trade him. Gain a replacement in Hemsky and a #2 center in Briere, plus Paajarvi. Oilers add the big center and added grit needed.

If all it takes to get Couturier out of Philly is Petry and a 1st they should get that deal done. I don't mind Petry but at best he's a 2nd pairing d man. You trade for Couturier and suddenly out center depth is looking extremely good. RNH, Gagner, Couturier, Belanger as our 4 centers next season woud make me very happy. On top of that after giving up the pick I'd expect Tambo to want to make a push for the playoffs and go out and get JML's or Franson from Toronto for Potter and a prospect like Gernat.

Shiney new toys? Our first should absolutely be on the table for the right player or package. Sooner rather than later the Oil are going to need to trade some picks/prospects in order to round out the roster.

Only if the piece coming back makes us significantly better. Couturier does not make us significantly better, not this season. Not for awhile if ever. If we include our 1st it needs to be in a deal for a star or a few considerable pieces that will hopefully make us playoff bound.

Not sure if serious... We need a d but Couturier absolutely makes us a better team this year.

IMO Couturier is a player that our 1st should be in play for. To quote Soli(IIRC)+Obiwan he is the droid we are looking for.

Roster also has depth incase of injury and has another option for the PP, and the PK.

And who is subtracted to get him. Couturier when on pk averages about 70 % efficency when he is on ice in fact he has been on 11of 15 pp goals against in philly this year , considering Fedetenko has been on for 7 and more pk time this year shows Couturier would not help our 4th overall, so how about pp well he is on for over 2 min a game and has 3 pp points all assists not helping us here. Face offs 42 per nope not there. Even strength well he does have 4 points maybe a litte help there but his line has been on for 14 goals against even strength. He would help down the road a few years he is not helping this team now. And during playoffs last year Phillys pk was 55 % when he was killing pks and the team was 72 % during playoffs so about 85% when he was not out there. Very dominant
